Robin Jones from The Grand joined WDEA's Chris Popper to talk about what's happening at The Grand in the next week. There's a French Film Festival, Romeo and Juliet and the Cinegrand Movie -"Revenant" on Tuesday August 16th.

The Grand also announced that they are looking to  upgrade its Projection system to DCP which stands for Digital Cinema Projection.

What this upgrade will do is help them  bring in films closer to their release date, as well as double the resolution of the picture, and greatly enhance the sound quality as well.

An angel from The Grand Member Society has challenged them with a $50,000 matching grant, which means  they have to raise $50,000 and they will donate another $50,000 to their goal. If you or anyone you know would like to help them achieve that challenge please donate anything as 1000 people donating $1.00 is still $1000.

If you would like to donate online please follow the link below and select Projection Upgrade Fund:
